DEAD DEAL? Lake said that it was tough to resusciate something which was already dead.
Washington: A top foreign policy advisor to presumptive Democratic presidential candidate, Sentator Barack Obama feels that the Indo-US nuclear deal is "dead" in the wake of differences between the UPA Government and its allies.
"I don't know how you resuscitate something that is dead there (in New Delhi), if it is in fact dead there," remarked Antony Lake, former National Security Advisor, in an interview to The Financial Times of London.
His remarks came after the Left parties threatened to withdraw support to the UPA government if it went ahead with the nuclear deal with the US.
On Pakistan, Lake said Obama's statement last year about using force against al-Qaeda leaders in that country even without Islamabad's permission "is still relevant."
